Just a quick note to say that I will be at the MCM Expo at the ExCel Centre in Docklands on Saturday and Sunday. This is a manga-centric "hybrid" show but there is a really nice UK indie comics presence curated by the wonderful Emma Vieceli and Anna Petterson. Also Astrid and Walter Bishop from Fringe of course, and BSG creator Ronald D. Moore who will be tapping me up for some ideas for "Caprica". I hope to see a few of you there, I will be in low-key, relaxed mode.

Caprica ideas:

1. Zoe invents a range of shoes called "Cylon slippers".
2. Lacy starts a website about pets
3. Young William Adama gets into some scrapes with his friends Ginger, Douglas and Henry as they attempt to rout the dangerous sect, the "Hubert Laneites".
4. Dennis Franz is introduced to the cast to reprise his role as "Norman Buntz" from Hill Street Blues, reigniting his wonderful NYPD Blue chemistry with Esai Morales!

Okay I had better leave it there as these ideas are a trifle "incendiary".

Blog readers! If you are wondering where I am, I am busy with all sorts of things right now. While I love to blog, write some words, post some demented drawings, complain about my lumbago, things are tight around here with no sign of loosening up.

Until I finish a vast pile of in-book sketches, I won't be taking on any new commissions. I will announce here when the floodgates can be safely opened once more.

Think of me over the next few weeks as I ship books, prepare for a big show in London (on the 29-30th of May) and weep bitter tears. In the meantime, here's my rejected design for the 2012 Olympic mascot.

With Britain mired in electoral intrigue and the future no more certain than the final resting place of a river-borne leaf, it's time for a new SKETCH FIESTA! See a plethora of new drawings tell yourself that yes, it really is worth going on.
